WWE plans for CM Punk during his time away from the ring have potentially been revealed, with Punk recently suffering an injury.
Punk tore his tricep during the January 27 Royal Rumble match, which was his first televised bout since returning to the company.
With Punk set to miss months of action, there’s been a lot of speculation about what’s next for the former WWE Champion.
Per Fightful Select, Punk has helped out at the Performance Center a couple of times since his injury. It was noted that many believe that more Performance Center work could be in his future.
The report also highlighted Ace Steel’s comments from his interview on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast which will be released on Tuesday (February 6).
Noting that WWE wants Punk to do commentary, Ace Steel said:
“Definitely, they want him commentary, they want him on commentary. I don’t know that they go that route since they did an injury angle to pull him out since they did the storyline on him; (Drew) stomps on his arm.
“There’s the physicality that puts him out. I personally don’t want to see him in an onscreen role unless it’s in the meantime he’s doing NXT or something.
“I really don’t want to see him on the same show as Drew Mcintyre because his sole focus would be going after Drew Mcintyre. ‘Well, I can’t fight you. Well, I’m gonna try.’ We see people hit by cars and forktrucks and all these things, you know.
“Still, I feel like the fact that they did the injury that a lot of people think they, they put the storyline to it now that a lot of people think it’s, he’s faking it, which is hilarious that it’s a storyline 100% which of course it’s wrestling.
“So, you’ve done so many of those, like, oh, well, let’s do this where he hurts guys.”
Punk was attacked by Drew McIntyre on the January 29 edition of Raw, during which McIntyre targeted Punk’s injured arm.
CM Punk had surgery to repair his tricep last week.
